So if you get one of the new Morningstar MC6pro, do you still need the midi adapter, or is there another connection you would use now?

The MC6Pro (unlike the standard MC6) has a USB Host output, so you can connect direct to the C4 via USB

Oh awesome, thank you

So if I understand correctly, with the SA168 midi adapter I could use a HXStomp as a midi controller to acces the 128 presets, am I right?

 

[phangtonpower]

I just ordered my C4 last night and I'm about to order my dmc.Micro. Should I also get the the gHOST Adapter as well?

If you want to be able to switch presets via usb and/or don’t own a Hub, yes.

I was thinking about getting DMC micro pro with it. I know this is a really old post, but I thought you don't need the ghost hub if are just going to be scrolling through presets?

I didn’t realize this. So, a USB C to a mini B cable will do the trick?

Yes, that should work.

Yes, it won’t add presets to older pedals (ex vertigo is not has 6 presets) but
will add midi PC recall over trs/5 pin midi.

No, you just need the host adapter that disaster area sells, or you could use the multi jack to the control input on the one series as of more recently. This is the better option in my opinion.

Interesting.
Does the multijack > control input works with the C4 and dmc3xl gen3 as well (just for preset scrolling)?

¼" to 3.5mm TRS?

should, I don’t have a dmc 3xl to confirm

¼" to 3.5mm TRS?

yes, the included neuro cable should work for this.

Another quick question. Is it possible to use the tap tempo on the C4 rear input and an expression pedal on the DMC micro pro at the same time?

I use the a DMC Micro Pro to control my C4 and it works beautifully. I have about 25-30 presets, some of them duplicated just so it's fewer stomps to accommodate my set lists.

I also use a SA Atlas as my always on compressor. I have 6 different presets, but typically roll with just one setting per gig

No, the control input has to be rerouted for one or the other, so both can’t be used simultaneously.

 

[Quatschmacher]

Could it be done by having C4 connected to DMC via USB host (so MIDI over USB), expression plugged into DMC expression port and then the tap tempo plugged into the C4’s control input?

Yes that would work, but there’s no way outside of midi to have both.

That's what I meant to say. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

How do you have yours connected?

 

[Mohawk]

Mine is running MIDI from Set List Maker via a USB-C to USB-B mini cable into the DMC micro PRO. Then 5-pin MIDI cable through to the Neuro Hub and just added a 5-pin MIDI cable from the Neuro Hub though connector to a TC Helicon Voicelive Touch 2 vocal processor. It is so convenient and necessary for me to have all equipment re-configuring immediately as each song on the list comes up. Generally I have zero time to manually configure pedals between songs.

I am not sure I understand this comment?

Thank you for your attention. I should have been more clear. What I meant:
Should be really easy to have a preset switcher app. One that picks up all the preset names from the pedal. And allows for easy switching either from a list, by receiving midi PC or via large onsvreen buttons (in the style of Android's midi commander).

But, you SA guys know better how many users actually connect their phone to a pedal in order to simply switch a preset. I just keep hearing from players around me "how many presets", "how do you switch between those", "oh, I need to buy ANOTHER device just to change presets"...while the solution is in their pocket all allong.

IDK, my way was to connect C4 and a Launchpad to a usb hub and use Android as a host. And go trough all presets tapping away. I would love to have the names on my phone at thw same time. This is, after all, "the future".

Maybe not exactly what you are thinking, but my system is running on an Android tablet and I've entered the names of the Neuro Hub patches into the DMC micro PRO so that I can visually verify which patch has been selected. And the up/down buttons on the DMC allows me to step through my 50+ patches.

But it could be useful if the Neuro app running from a phone or tablet would let me see and update each pedal on the fly. However, I usually only update pedal settings and patches from a laptop at home and wouldn't want to be making any changes during a performance. In fact, the dependable consistency of the sound and operation of the SA pedals is a great benefit.
